2/10. As @Rininreallife explains, not only does optimism feel good but focusing on what we want also creates our reality. (@shawnachor, @Oprah @drrhanson)

3/10. Our reticular activating systems filter information and our expectations determine what information gets in and what stays out. Focusing on the good, literally brings more good.

4/10. Drawing on #IsaacNewton’s laws of motion 🍏 the blog explains why we can and should be even more ambitious in our expectations for #COP27.

5/10. The laws of motion dictate that what is at motion will stay in motion and thus we will continue to move towards a positive vision of the future🌈.

6/10. The law of force provides that the momentum created at #COP26 will speed up as more people and groups join forces to demand finance for #LossAndDamage for vulnerable countries, communities and people on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis.

7/10. The law of action and reaction suggests that we must focus on the needs of the #GlobalSouth and embrace the values, culture and knowledge of local communities and #IndigenousPeoples.

8/10. The blog concludes with a call for ambitious expectations for #COP27 that move us in the direction of mobilizing trillions to address #LossAndDamage.

9/10. We can and should expect a robust #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage, a finance facility or response fund for #LossAndDamage and an agreement to mobilize finance at the scale of the needs.
